She had had quite Sa beautiful time. She did enjoy herself so much! “Do you know," she said one day to Billie Brownie. “I had a little chat with Winter as I came along. “I kept saying to him, “ ‘Now I must be going.’ “And then you know he would tell me some morq Interesting news and I would stay T-i. 4 m. . a - llttle loil K er - • . ! “ The t,m * J« st Little GirL” hurrfed along You know how it is? If you are having a good time you can’t bear to leave and the • time passes by so quickly. “He told me of the beautiful evergreen trees and of the snow all about and of the lovely dark green and white pictures they made between them. He said it was so beautiful! “And he told me of the patched of Ice in a river which began to break up during the warm days—when they heard I’d soon be along so he said—and how the sea gulls sat upon these patches of ice and went for river rides! “He told me too of the suet and the bread crumbs and bits of apple and grain which boys and girls had put around for the downy woodpeckers, nuthatches and chickadees who had stayed about all winter. “He said it meant so much to the birds to be helped in this way. “He told me it was just as though people went to a place where they could find hardly anything to eat but where the ones who had lived there for years had goodies stored away a and shared these goodies with ’ the new coiners. “Then he told me of a llttle girl who had picked some pussy willows just as I was about to arrive. She ijad put them in some water in the house. And they knew about blossoming out-of-doors and still wanted to do the same, and so the pussy willows became feathery ahd lovely and on some of the twigs she had picked little green leaves appeared. “.He chatted and he chatted and every once In awhile there would be a llttle pause In the conversation and I would say, « “‘I really must be hurrying on.,’ “Then he would tell me more of his news. “But at last I really said I had to be leaving and so along I came and so here I am! "As I came the little crocus flowers peeped up above the earth, and said, "‘Hello, dear Mistress Springtime.’ “And oh, Billie Brownie, you have no idea how wonderful it Is to have that first greeting coming out of the earth where there is not another sign of anything green and where everything looks so dismal. "The crocus family just made me feel I was so glad I had come after all, for at first I was thinking of Winter’s Interesting talk and almost wishing I hadn't hurried along. • “Some of them were picked and sent to some one who had no spring flowers but they bad already greeted me and I was glad they were to greet some one' . else. \ / fl “They kept u / 11 fresh, to to VJ|7 Z/ greet others. , J “Then the green > buds all began to burst open to greet me and the yellow forsythia. and the dogwood and all of the other lovely bios- “ f _J'‘*?A “And now it SH.

Chic Utility Coat With Scarf; Spring Day-Dresses of Plaid

WHEN fabrics that are decorative In themselves are made up. they need very little elaboration —usually the less they have th ■ better they look. But they are often Improved by combinations with plain materials used for borders or as a part of the garment designed of a patterned fabric. In frocks this combinations of two materials is endlessly varied —appearing tn every sort of dress, but in coats it is usually restricted to sports and seml-sports types that are used for all-round daytime wear. Here is where the genius of a real designer has a chance to distinguish itself—to make’a utility coat with vivacity, color

Flamingo cloth in a gray and white basket weave pattern has taken to itself as a life companion a plain cloth and converted it into bordering for sleeves, front opening and scarf. Nothing could be more chic except the management of the fastening in which loops of the plain goods are used with round, gunmetal buttons, one at the collar, five at the waistline and two on each sleeve. The collar is extended Into a long scarf finished with a heavy and

new coats—convertible and lapel collars give them an up-to-date touch where the start collar is not used and on occasional short cape amplifies the slim silhouette sponsored by the mode. In spite of the furore for tailored suits this spring, it Is evident that day dresses will dispute their supremacy on the streets and elsewhere. Designers have been quick to see the possibilities, for day dresses, of the new plaids, checks and stripes, in different kinds of cloth. These give them a wider field In choice of fabrics than suits allow. The day dress has another advantage, these patterned materials give more latitude in ths

use of color. Suits depend noon at cessories for touches of lively col« but plaids and checks introduce k with proper reserve, in the cloth Itself. Here Is a cleverly-designed day dress of plaid material which bears all the marks of this season’s Ideas. It has an easy and breezy Informality of style, an enviable simplicity and an entirely new treatment of side drapery in three shaped tiers, which rescues It from commonplace designing. It looks to no outside help for decoration, even the belt is made of the piaid cut pn the bias Collars and cuffs of embroidered batiste finish off the neck and sleeves. These acces-

sories are shown in immense variety in the shops; those for wear with dresses of plain cloth often have bright color introduced in embroidery or in applique and needlework. The street hat trimmed with silk like that in the border of the scarf is a noteworthy item in the new styled. Scarf and hat travel together, whether they go in the company of the day dress or (he street suit. la the latter case the scarf is usually wrapped about the throat like a stock collar and the ends take the placets vest. They are particularly effective with those suits in which the coats are only fastened at the waistline or below it. Tne most popular day dress for spring, so far, is made of barred flannel, usually In one of the various tan or beige shades, barred with brown or black. Plain material, matching the bar tn color. Is used for bindings os collars, cuffs and belts, or for making the entire collar and cuffs. The cross bar 1s not always in a dark coiot —blue, green and coral are the llvdlei colors shown In the new flannels, ani they make' the prettiest of simple straight line frocks.

That is the suggestion put forth in Kansas City by W. S. Ferguson, director of public service for Cleveland, now under the city manager form of government. Mr. Ferguson Is on a short vacation. Civic affairs have been freed of political chains and men who have been successful In business ara at the helm, Mr. Ferguson declared. The nucleus of the government is W. R. Hopkins, city manager, and five department directors besides Mr. Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson, who is an architect and engineer, never has been in politics, and Mr. Hopkins forgot big coin- ' mercial ventures when the council selected him for the city’s head. The council also elected a mayor. He receives $2,500 a year, the manager $25,000 and the department heads $7,500. Cleveland is the largest city with city manager government, Mr. Ferguson said. “Mr. Hopkins and his directors have obtained the co-qperatlon of the council of twenty-six elected members and of the people because we are not interested in politics,” Mr. Ferguson said. “City officials are giving Cleveland more service because they choose workers according to ability rather than political qualifications. e Of course, you can’t cut out politics entirely in ■ city where It has reigned for years.’’ Mr. Ferguson told of Cleveland’s garbage reducing plant, where 350 tons were being handled a day at no loss. The process is one of reduction to grease, fertilizer and gasoline, which are sold. Plans have been completed for a new $1,000,000 plant, which will be erected within a year and is expected to produce revenue. “The best plan of garbage disposal," Mr. Ferguson said, “is for the city to dispose of its own garbage in a plant properly equipped and managed. Proper management is the first essential and that it what appeals to Cleveland.” —Kansas City Star. Failure to Vote Harmful One of the recognized difficulties in this country is to get all the “good” citizens to go to the polls. It has been established that very large numbers of potential voters fail in each election to go to the polls. Doctor Tigert, in his address before the American National council in New York made the following significant statement in this connection: “Idoubt if a weak or undesirable public official has ever been elected by a larger majority *than the number of good. citizens who failed to vote in the election. I agree with the statement I heard a public speaker make the other day. when he said that he had" ten times as much respect for the man who voted ftn times as he did for the man who did not vote at all." Instances were cited by Doctor Mann where grafting politicians were able to continue in power because only 87 per cent of the voters turned out to take part in an election. These same grafting politicians were cast out, he said, when only 85 per cent of the voters went to the polls after conditions had become such that they were goaded into fulfilling their duty u citizens. Fan Helps Burn Coal Fuel experts for several years past #ave been preaching the use of smaller lizes of anthracite coal such as pea tnd buckwheat, for household use. I’hey state that these sizes of coal have nearly the same amount of beat producing units per ton as the larger sizes and point out that they are materially lower In price. Some people find that the smaller coal burns admirably in their furnaces except on occasional heavy damp days. Then, a furnace stoked with small-sized coal simply will not burn brightly enough to produce the desired heat. On such days an electric fan will come to the rescue. Open the ash-pit door, set the electric fan directly in front of It. Then connect it to one of the convenience outlets In the cellar land turn on the fan. With the added draft provided by the fan the smail-sized coal will burn just as if the weather conditions were normal. Town Has Only One Pupil " Sharon, N. H., supports a school for dhly one pupil. It has, in fact, only one child of school age. The place's state school tax consequently is only $2 a year. The community was a thriving settlement fifty years ago with 50 population, but today only twenty live within the limits of the town, which is steadily vanishing. First Rubber Pavement What is believed to be the first rubber pavement in the United States has been laid on a railroad crossing in Racine, Wis. The section of rubber paving will have a severe trial as this crossing is used by thousands of automobiles and heavy motor trucks each day. similar pavement in Princess street, Edinburgh, has been used for more than twenty years, yet it has lost rtniy a fraction of ‘an inch in thickness during this period.
